Honolulu 26th September 1992, absolutely awesome, love the improv of Throw Your Arms Around Me, a faster, raw version. Can't stop listening to this boot.

LA 2 2006
The boot opens with a bang; a blistering WWS-Brain of J combo is a hell of a way to start. Ed's vocals are strong on WWS, and Mike shining early on with these 2 songs. Matt's work towards the end of BOJ is pure energy. A sprightly played Animal follows; a rocking start to the gig. After a moment’s pause, Ed greets the crowd. Marker in the Sand-Severed Hand are treats for my ears. Both Avocado songs are above average takes. Matt putting on another set of exceptional showings. Mike too seems to be putting an extra bit of groove in there. It's fitting after Matt puts on a fantastic solo in Even Flow that Ed says the next song, MFC, stands for "Matt Fucking Cameron." Somewhat ironically, Matt's subtle high hat hits early on in MFC are so slightly out of time with Ed. No biggie though. I hate to sound repetitive, but the dynamics and different drum patterns Matt plays in I Got Shit and Corduroy are damn good! Corduroy flows perfectly coming out of I Got Shit. Mike's solo in Corduroy is extra solid, a few darker sounding riffs to be found in there. Ed's vocals are quite beautiful for Daughter, and it's cool to have an I Believe in Miracles tag. Sad is a great rarity to throw in after Daughter. Sometimes a near flawless version of the rarity is hard to find, but this rendition is definitely one of the best. Mike's guitar effects, his solo, and Ed getting the lyrics correct make it a great one. Garden keeps the mid tempo flow going, nice set flow. Of course it's the reworked 2006 version, but a good take. Stone plays that brooding main riff so well. Down fits in well following the Ten classic, another solid play. After a brief "Baby Please Don't Go" intro by Ed, we leap into a rocking Go. A sweet little intro! Matt's quick high hat accents in the chorus are always welcomed. A dependable Betterman is a harsh contrast to follow. Tim Robbins comes out to help on Must Not Think Bad Thoughts. Fans will be split on this, but I rather enjoy it. It sounds weird, imperfect, abstract, and oddly enjoyable. A magnificent Porch ends the great main set. Mike's chugging riffs create an arresting vibe. Stone's beautiful riff coming out of the jam is just spectacular too. Ed's scream coming into the final chorus is an epic way to close the song and set.

The first encore begins with a decent Man of the Hour, a wrong line or two from Ed but nothing too distracting. Off He Goes is quite good, Mike in particular. A full reverse Mamasan Trilogy begins with a gorgeous Footsteps. Jeff's bass and Ed's vocals sound rich and warm. Once is solid, Matt absolutely killing it towards the end with lots of fills. An energetic Alive ends the encore. Jeff again sounding extra ear pleasing and smooth.

Ed puts in a plug for Surf Rider's good cause, and then Big Wave gets the final encore going that's full of fast numbers. It's a rocking version, Mike and Stone standing out nicely. Another Avocado scorcher follows, Comatose. It too finds Mike firing on all cylinders. SOLAT keeps the energy sky-high, a very fast tempo version. Matt adding in extra dynamic hits and different accents. Leash is a nice surprise, a tight play on the Vs. rarity. It's RITFW that then ends the gig. That's a blistering encore!


A vastly underrated 2006 bootleg with a hard rocking setlist that's performed very well. The last encore is a scorcher! It is an all-around tight, no nonsense boot. Enjoyed this one a lot, always have.
